Amy Poehler and Maya Hawke were among a number of glamorous stars who attended the premiere of Disney’s Inside Out 2, at El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, on Monday. 

The SNL alum, 52, looked summer-ready in a floor-length dress with a bright floral pattern throughout. Her platinum blonde strands were parted in the middle and worn down for the occasion.

Meanwhile Maya, 25 — daughter of Hollywood stars Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke — stunned in a crushed green velvet gown.

The Stranger Things star’s dress also featured a delicate white floral pattern on it. Maya is the voice of Anxiety while Poehler is Joy in Disney and Pixar’s animated sequel. 

The premise of the film follows protagonist Riley ‘in her teenage years, encountering new emotions,’ per an official IMDB synopsis.

Maya completed her look with strappy sandal heels and wore her brunette tresses in a ponytail. 

Other celebrities that starred in the project include Ayo Edebiri as Envy, Paul Walter Hauser as Embarrassment, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Tony Hale as Fear, Lewis Beck as Anger and Liza Lapira as Disgust.

The sequel to the 2015 movie was announced at the D23 Expo back in September 2022. At the time, Amy opened up about the film and the plot while talking to People.

‘At the very end if the original, Joy has that great moment where she’s like, “Finally, everything the way it’s supposed to be.” Then we see that big puberty button, “Should we press this?”‘

The star continued, ‘We do press it in the second movie. In some ways, Inside Out set itself up for a sequel and we’re going there.’

‘We’re going to have what it feels like to be a teenager, the new emotions that live inside a young person’s brain.’

She added, ‘In many ways, it was really exciting. We knew exactly where we were. We go to the teen brain and we see the madness that lives inside there.’

Inside Out (2015) notably received critical acclaim upon its release in theaters and was a box office hit.

The project was made on a budget of $175 million and raked in around $858.8 million globally.

Following the first film’s release, it was no surprise that Disney cashed in with a slew of merchandise and toys, including a plush character inspired by Sadness.
